What attracted you to the art and craft might very soon become the very thing you hate about doing it, and the romantic image of somebody turning their favorite hobby into a livelihood soon turns into a daily routine of doing boring, repetitive chores under stressful conditions and mostly with a deadline. Some can make a living, but doing that means tying a lot of flies (A LOT!) and can be compared to all other "creative" jobs gone professional: cooking, taking pictures, gardening, playing music. Professional fly-tyers are few and far between, and none of them have become millionaires or even moderately wealthy from tying. Making money from fly tying might seem an attractive potential, but hesitate and think before you quit your day job. It might seem expensive at a glance, but the expenses are nothing compared to the money you will spend on tools, hooks and materials if you get smitten by the tying virus. If you want to save money, buy your flies. You will NOT save money, but on the contrary have a lot of expenses that you didn't have before. I think that fly-tying is a very natural sidekick to fishing You will NOT save moneyĭo not embark on the fly-tying adventure to save money on flies, let alone to make money on tying. I actually think I know more tyers who rarely fish, but tie a ton of flies, and with some fairness can be called fly-tyers more than fly-fishermen. I know fly anglers who have never tied a fly. I think that fly-tying is a very natural sidekick to fishing, but you might not want to embark on the journey: spending time and money on tools and materials, learning to tie well enough to satisfy yourself and not least spending the time tying. Well, there's no reason not to if you ask me - in spite of the title and the intro to this article.
